Enquiring minds want to know...Other than the 5 or 10 'famous' dead folks, who were the other 100 or so on the memorial...

The town has thousands in it, they are saying those were the ones that did not make it out when the dome collapsed and they didn't go through the light. Of course, it was all in their minds so they aren't actually dead anyway.

According to the town sign there were 1976 people. Or did I read that wrong and it's actually 19k?

For some reason CBS insists on having insipid voiceovers at the start of every episode of every series they air rather than having an opening sequence, even though a good opening sequence would provide the same information in a much more enjoyable way.

True, I always delete the POI opening from my recordings - although there at least they vary it from time to time to fit the story arc...

"And Paige? Well, Paige isn't like us; she's normal. She translates the world for us, while we help her understand her genius son."

I always imagine it continues for one more verse... "while we help her understand her genius son... and each time hoping the next leap is the leap home!"

NCIS and its spinoffs don't have a voice intro like that... Can't remember one for the CSI shows either.

No you are correct, I should of left the s off or said over a thousand. The monument didn't have that many, few hundred perhaps, looks like most of the town got out, but again, mute point since it was all a dream anyway.

There are 114 names on the monument. At least the one that Barbie is looking at in the above photo. As we know, names disappear....

The names were disappearing because it was all a dream and when they needed Junior to be alive the changed the dream world so everyone had the memory he lived instead of dying. The monument is no longer there, no one is dead, that was all wiped away when they woke up from their cocoons.

He didn't really grow, because a year hasn't really passed. It was all a dream. As for the actor growing, it's all part of suspension of disbelief, just as you must suspend disbelief when the actors portraying immortal vampires continue to age year after year.

And also like how we are suspending disbelief that this show is still on the air!

I thought that was because Amazon was payining $1 million per episode and the rights were also sold overseas. So before Season 1 even aired they were making a profit. Season 2 suppsoedly had similar financing. No idea what was done with Season 3. If Amazon is still payng $1 million an episode to air it a few days later.

A million an episode? Bartender, gimme what Bezos is having.

I don't get the economics of paying that kind of money when it's freely available on-demand or at CBS.com? Seems like a lot more bang for the buck to be had by buying more HBO and other older premium shows that aren't available anywhere else, or funding more original programming...

CBS.com would be a last resort for me to watch something on. Streaming from Amazon is much better. Better audio and video quality. As well as no commercials like you get from CBS.com.

From what I read Under the Dome cost over $3 million per episode to make. At least in the first season. So the deals they made really helped.

If the episodes cost that much and this is what we got, they must have been burning $100 bills to provide the lighting for all the night scenes, because they surely didn't put the money into the show's writing budget.

Does any show ever spend much on the writing? I would think the writing part is typically one of the lesser costly parts of a show.

Although with UtD I guess Stephen King could be getting a hefty sum per episode.

Probably not, but I find it hard to believe that a show with some of the worst writing ever and that also doesn't even look good could cost so much unless they're using dollar bills as toilet paper in the facilities around the sets. At least it made sense for something like Terra Nova to have a hudge budget for the dinosaurs and everything (but definitely not for the writers), but Under the Dome doesn't have that excuse. A show this bad and this visually disinteresting should not be so expensive to produce.
